And luckily for us, he’s also super-generous and open about the information he shares, including his perspectives on mixing and ‘mastering’ music for the movies. So in this episode we dig deep into all the details, including topics like: * Is there really such a thing as ‘mastering’ for film ? * What needs to be delivered, and what is the process ? * How loud does it need to be - are there any standards ? * When does Alan deliver mixes in Atmos, and why ? * How he uses the centre channel and surround channels * Why you might want to use saturation or pitch-shifting (!) in a movie score mix Show notes http://themasteringshow.com/episode-91 ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-mastering-show-1105611/episodes/the-mastering-show-91-mixing-and-mastering-music-for-the-movies-with-alan-meyerson/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-mastering-show-1105611/the-mastering-show-91-mixing-and-mastering-music-for-the-movies-with-alan-meyerson.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
